Suggest annuities wrongly distributed (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

insinuate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'suggest' is the definition.
(insinuating is a kind of suggesting)

'annuities wrongly distributed' is the wordplay.
'annuities' can be anagrammed to 'INSINUATE'.
Though, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for insinuate that I've seen before include "Subtly introduce" , "Annuities (anag.)" , "Imply about annuities" , "Indirectly suggest (something unpleasant)" , "Snidely suggest" .)
